Description

This technology project will develop and test a brassboard Continuous Bosch reactor for spacecraft oxygen recovery. The Bosch process would replace the state-of-the-art Sabatier oxygen recovery system, potentially converting 100% of available CO2 to water (H2O).

How to get involved

This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
